Dont go looking for TAB on the web kids...seems the music industry has its greedy little hooks into this now and is threatening legal action because as they claim tab is NOT fair use and the artists arent getting royalties- and a lot of sites are pulling their tab with explanations that until the suit is settled school is out.

Wankers.

I'm a tabaholic, and I can't believe they're going after these college kids..Some of the tabs are WOEFULLY inaccurate...I don't get it....I spend half of my tab time figuring out the RIGHT notes anyway...METALLICA STRIKES AGAIN.

THANKS LARS....YOU SPOOGE

Bands such as Sonic Youth etc are backing the little people on this one. Thurston Moore even spoke out about it.

And just what are THEY (Sonic Youth) doing these days?

Anything to make a buck.....They're almost as bad as (do I have to say it?) Rush, for nickel-and-diming us with rehashed offerings of "Greatest Hits"-type releases......WTF??? I mean, how many times do I have to buy them? NEW ALBUM PLEASE...GUYS....AND MAKE IT HEAVIER...LESS KEYBOARDS AND MORE CHUNKS OF MEATY GUITAR!! NO MORE FILLER!!! OY VEY...Sorry if it sounds like an ALPO commercial, but...you know...oh, thanks for letting me vent too.

Well... I'm a bit confused then. Rush IS recording an new album. And their last one WAS heavier with zero keyboards...

I digress...IMHO I didn't think the last one was all that great, but to each their own.

That there are solos from Keith Richards and Robbie Krieger appearing in the list destroy its credibility.
